Hi,

I attempted this on my side and it seems to have worked. I think where you are going wrong is you are "AllowedSectionType" is "O" which probably does not match you "SubTypeName" entry in the "ProfileMasterTable" in the AstorProfiles database.

What I tried is finding my User Profile in the "ProfileMasterTable" and assigning the letter "C" to "SubTypeName" field as seen below.

As this Section Type is already and allowed section, once you "Update Defaults" in Advance Steel this section is automatically recognized in the Truss Macro as seen below.

This has unlocked this section for the Bottom Chords, Web's and all the truss objects as well.

Hello Maycon,

Welcome here on this forum.

I see that you have added the section type "O" for the joint "SETruss", in the AstorRules database, table "JointsGUIAllowedSections". This is the section type for "Tubes".

Your profile that you want to add is a User section. The corresponding section type is "Andere".

So, one solution is to change the section type "O" to "Andere". The joint will display then all the user profiles, including yours.

I would recommend to add only your specific profile, not all the user profiles that exists in database.

To do that, follow these steps:

• open again the AstorRules.mdb database, table JointsGUIAllowedSections
• go to the your new added records for SETruss joint
• on the column "AllowedSectionType" select "Section class" instead of "Section shape" for these records
• on the column "AllowedSection" type the profile class name of your generated profile (Chapa Dobrada)

Please let me know if this solves your question.

Best regards,
Emy

@Emanuel.Nestor how do we get truss macro to make available AISC std pipe for material ?

[Emanuel.Nestor]

Hi muleman1,

To get the tube (pipe) sections in the SETruss joint for the top chord, follow these steps:

• open the AstorRules.mdb database with a database editor or with Management Tools application
• open table JointsGUIAllowedSections
• Add a new record at the end using these values: SETruss TopSection SectionShape O (see attached picture too, with the current available sections)
• Open a new AS session --> all the tubes should be available for top chord

You should configure in a similar way the sections for bottom chord.

I hope this will help you.

Best regards,
Emy
